We are using a web server written in Haskell in a production environment... It only serves dynamic pages - it is a bit like Tomcat for Haskell... It uses the ghci linker interface to load object files... but does not compile automatically. I think it sould be possible to embed ghc into an application, although I haven't looked at the interface. Regards, Keean Schupke. Carsten Schultz wrote:
Hallo,
Ghci and Template Haskell show that it is possible to compile and load a module into a running program. Is there a user interface to do that? Would one be possible? Would that make a Haskell analog of Yaws (yaws.hyber.org) possible?
For those who don't know Yaws: It is a web server written in Erlang that can compile and load Erlang code embedded in HTML files to produce dynamic pages. I have played with it a bit, and it seems useful to me, but I would prefer Haskell over Erlang.
Greetings,
Carsten
